VASARI Lime Plaster & Paint | LIME PAINT | Made from Natural Lime and Powdered Marble | color: Fossil #15 | size: 1 Gallon

This is definitely a trust the process paint. I used the Vasari mineral primer and applied the paint with a deck brush in an X pattern. I found the paint to work best the more I mixed it with water. I did not do an entire second coat I just touched up spots as I went if I didn’t like the look as it dried. Very pleased with how it turned out this is the granite color.

This lime plaster paint really adds a modern and artistic touch to the space. The texture is very different from regular paint — it has a soft, matte, almost velvety finish that gives the wall a rich, handcrafted feel. You have to apply it with a brush, not a roller, and there’s no specific direction or rule to follow, which I actually enjoyed. As you can see in the picture, I painted one wall, and it stands out beautifully from the others. It’s not a uniform color — more of a textured, natural variation that makes the wall look like a statement piece. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their space with a unique finish.

I love this color. I was looking for a modern yet textured color for my hallway. This was the best choice. Because I am not a professional painter, I would say the only thing I didn’t like is I needed to buy much more paint because it’s very thick. The coverage is fantastic! It dries very quick with very little smell. Yes it is easy to apply. Absolutely worth the cost. For me the look and color is spot on.

Love this lime paint. It gives a nice soft and slightly variegated color. The finish is irregular and resembles a plaster or rough cement texture. It was easy to apply as brush strokes just add to the desired effect. The gold gray was a bit darker than I expected, but it is great. Nice and warm. It did cover a lot better than I had expected, so have half the paint left over.

I originally wanted to do this wall in white/off white. After painting 2 coats with this paint in pearl white, absolutely nothing showed. It looked the same as the primer before I began. I went back and got this paint again in the golden gray tone. It is definitely a bit more beige than gray, but the color turned out so much better! You can see the texture, especially after the second coat. I mixed 2 parts the lime wash with 1 part water. It was thin and messy, but went on best this way. I did a thorough coat the first time and then a quick, random coat the second time. It gave a soft, marbled effect.

We used the buffing on with a sponge technique vs the cross hatch with a brush cloud to cloud. You can find Vasari videos on YouTube. It's a lot more time consuming than regular paint, bit, wow, the finish is beautiful. Now, the photo, even the photo I'm submitting, look different than in person. The color turned a cool blue toned deep grey vs a smokey charcoal grey, like we hoped for. Clean up was incredibly easy but would suggest using disposable latex gloves (I got irritated at one point, removed the gloves, and it stained my nails, plus dried out my hands so much my cuticles cracked). Also, I did find using it for so long would slightly irritate my throat, so a mask might be a good idea. Overall, it's a large room we painted, and this was our second gallon purchased. If I decide on this old world style finish for another room, I would 100% return to Vasari for it.

The lime wash effect is really pretty. Happy with the quality of the paint and the lime wash/plaster look. However, the color is darker than I had anticipated. Looks more like the charcoal sample color then granite #25. I based my selection on a picture from another customers review.. but in their picture it looks much lighter than what I got. I applied two coats and a third pass to cover a few patches where you could still see the white wall. Definitely would’ve preferred a few shades lighter but overall I’m happy with it.

I wanted to love this product. I ordered a 5 gallon bucket in the color Marcona. It arrived in a timely fashion but the consistency was so thick, I stirred everything up , still seemed a little thick to me like a plaster. I applied the first coat of color and when it dried it just looked like a solid color of paint… I knew to trust the process so I applied a second coat (I was using a hard bristle brush in the cloud technique). Still nothing, looked like a soiled color of paint. I tried to thin the consistency (more like a milk consistency) down a little with water tried another coat and still nothing. I spent so much money on a 5 gallon bucket thinking I would do a couple of rooms. I am now spending more money just to go reprime the wall and try something else.
